Hmmm.. it's certainly easier said than done getting beast to
accept midi input.
I downloaded and compiled beast and beast-alsa. I selected the
alsa midi input as one of the alsa virmidi channels, I had some
difficulty getting the beast sound engine to agree to start, but
I selected playback settings "auto activate". I connected the
midi input from the synth to the alsa virmidi,
But then when i press a key I get:
beast-0.7.1[26163]:BSE:1: ignoring note-on (523.251160Hz) for
foreign midi channel1
Any hints??

Does anyone know of a linux based synth that
emulates the sound of the C64 SID
chip? I would love to use that sound in some pieces, but I have never been able
to find anything very usable.
Perhaps something could be used from the libsid/libsidplay libraries??
There is an instrument that is based on the SID chip for BEAST, so you
should be able to create SID sounds using this network. Here are the
details:

and downloadable instrument files are in the sound archive:
